Construction (and other pictures)
It often seems like Hanoi is in the midst of an endless cycle of knocking itself down and building itself up again. On almost every street, there’s construction or demolition work going on. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference. When I first came to Vietnam, I was surprised to see so many women working on construction sites, but now, like so much else, it’s just normal. I need to remind myself sometimes that even if an image is familiar (to me), it can still be worth photographing.
These pictures – which mostly have nothing to do with construction at all – were all taken in the streets around Van Mieu, the area best known for the Temple of Literature, this month.

So great photos of the life there, I love those small shops.
Nice shots, as usual. The fellow with the coils of wire seems so unlike your usual male subjects in both dress and attitude!
A very nice series and usual. I particularly like the image of the man inspecting the electrical items. The light really draws him out.
